Around March 2004, a friend funded 300 copies of a 7″ red vinyl single (” Graffiti ” / ” Going Missing “) which was recorded by Duncan Lloyd in his and Thomas English’s flat in Fenham, Newcastle. The band’s second release was a 7″ single of their songs ” The Coast Is Always Changing ” and ” The Night I Lost My Head “, recorded by Paul Epworth . After some time of doing gigs around their home town, Steve Beckett of the dance-electronic label Warp Records acquired one of these records and decided to sign the band to his label after also seeing the band perform at the Notting Hill Arts Club hosted by Creation Records founder Alan McGee .
